When clicking on "Radar Map" make the Radar layer come on by default. · August 16, 2012 ·

When clicking on "Radar Map", the radar come up but doesn't display the radar by default - you have to go in to the layers and select "Radar". Instead, this should be done by default when tapping "Radar Map" in the app (this is version 2.0 that was done by Nokia).

There already is an option to show the animated loop. However I suggest pausing the animation before zooming in or out. If you don't it tends to freeze everything up and force a reboot. (I use it on my kindle.)
